About Essencare Ästhetische Medizinische Klinik
Die Ästhetische Medizinische Klinik in Taoyuan, Taiwan, interpretiert industrielles Erbe neu, indem sie sich von historischen Mehlfabriken inspirieren lässt. Ihr Design zeichnet sich durch große Säulen und üppiges Grün aus und fördert die Harmonie zwischen Mensch und Natur. Ein zentraler Innenhof ermöglicht es dem Sonnenlicht, eine vertikale Waldatmosphäre zu schaffen, die jahreszeitliche Veränderungen widerspiegelt. Die Wasserwellen-Installation am Eingang und mechanische Lichtröhren erzeugen einen Unterwassereffekt. Dieses Design schafft einen organischen, fließenden Raum, in dem Besucher Zuflucht inmitten urbaner Erinnerungen finden können und verbindet vergangene Narrative mit einer harmonischen Zukunft.

Behind the Design

- Unique Properties
- To encapsulate the urban memory of Taoyuan, an industrial hub in Taiwan, this project "reimagines" the essence of industrial remnants within the space, specifically referencing a historic flour factory with large columns, reflective of the city’s past landscape. By integrating a strategic patio, sunlight floods the interior, transforming it into a vertical forest that embodies the rhythms of the seasons and the passage of time.
- Dimensions & Packaging
- The long side of the site is 20.5 meters long and 7.4 meters wide, with a total area of 140 square meters.

- Production Technology
- At the entrance, a Water Ripple Device features a metallic plate that refracts light and shadow, creating an ethereal underwater ambiance. Inside, expansive "mechanical water ripple light tubes" simulate cascading waterfalls, immersing visitors in a transcendent aquatic experience.
- Design Challenge
- The primary challenge lies in crafting an organic migratory experience within a constrained space. While it is essential to "reproduce" the cylindrical form emblematic of industrial ruins, this must be achieved without overt visual prominence. Each area will present a distinct landscape, facilitating free movement and exploration, allowing individuals to discover hidden spaces that resonate with their inner moods.
- Research
- In the context of the "post-human era," aesthetic medical clinics must prioritize the creation of immersive spatial experiences. This project not only preserves the memory of an industrial city but also redefines it through a new narrative, constructing a hyper-realistic environment that resonates with urban heritage.
- Inspiration
- Emerging trends in medical aesthetics have reshaped East Asia, intertwining futuristic narratives of the "post-human" with daily life. This design draws from the concept of the "post-human era," envisioning how a medical aesthetic clinic in a post-industrial city can evoke the collective memory of its surroundings, turning the clinic into a prologue for post-human exploration.
- Project Duration
- The project started in July 2024 and finished in November 2024 in Taoyuan.
- Operation Flow
- This project juxtaposes two distinct forms of industrial remains. The first, the "large column," serves as a sanctuary for rest and privacy, while the second, the "small column," is enlivened by the encroachment of wild flora. This dichotomy invites a dialogue on the harmonious coexistence of humanity and nature within the narrative of the post-human era.
